Ammon was in his first choir concert. His teacher is Rachel McCune (from Omaha, Nebraska). The concert was held at Salem Hills High School because I think they needed that much space. There were hundreds of kids in this concert. There are two chorus 1 classes, a concert choir and a group of chamber singers. I was amazed at the skill of this teacher. She has the hardest age for the early teen voices. Boys are uncertain about singing at all because they can't control the squeaking, etc. She had them sing songs that they knew and liked and you could tell all the kids adored her -- how do I know that? By the way they performed. They were professional in their demeanor. They didn't miss a single clue or beat. I only hear two bad notes the whole night. It was really fun to hear this group of kids and to know that Ammon has the opportunity to work with one of the best choir teachers we've met in Utah. (Including Lunt and Bills.)

Ammon had a great birthday. He got some great gifts but I think the blog posts and comments meant as much to him, or more, than any gift he could get. He must have watched the video Jess posted 50 times. He read all the comments and was so happy to hear from so many people. Thanks, everybody for making his day so wonderful. We appreciate all your support. The reason I put "half" a happy day is because it was Gracie's birthday today as well. I wanted to get a photo of them together, but she has been sick all day long, throwing up all over her mom and herself. Poor little girl!! So we kept them apart but I did get a cute little smile from her tonight just before she went to bed. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow to play with her birthday gifts.
